Material Cost Increase on RoHS Products

Main Chips Main Chip manufacturers prices have increased by various amounts, depending on the actual chips and the quantity's highlighted below :

  • TI : 10 - 15%
  • VIA : 6 - 50%
  • Moschip : 10 - 13%
  • Silicon Image : 0 - 10%
  • Pericom : 15%
  • Micrel : 50% - 100%
  • PCB
  • The cost of the PCB will go up around $0.25 - $0.45 per piece.
  • The RoHS PCB Board will all change to gold sprayed and gold plated.
  • Cables
  • Cables can be 15 - 125% because of the commodity metal price increase in the market and also because the testing of the metal is more expensive and complicated.
  • Connectors and Headers
  • Connectors - Increase of 15 - 20% the lower the quantity the higher the price.
  • Passive Components
  • We have already absorbed it.
  • Production of RoHS Products
  • Increase is around 25 - 30%
  • Due the short lifetime of the RoHS PCB Board, unused PCB's will only last for 3 months, a forcast will be needed to avoid the long leadtime.
